Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 12 large Egg Whites Aged egg whites enhance the whipping process.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Consider a sugar alternative for lower calories.
  • 1 cup Cake Flour All-purpose flour can be used but may alter results.
  • 1 cup Raspberries Fresh is preferred for best texture.
For Dusting and Topping
  • 0.5 cup Powdered Sugar Optional but highly recommended for presentation.
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream Swap for Greek yogurt for a healthier option.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • electric mixer
  • spatula
  • tube pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Whip aged egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar until glossy and stiff peaks are formed.
  2. Sift the cake flour into the whipped egg whites gently and carefully fold until just combined.
  3. Fold fresh raspberries into the batter carefully without crushing them.
  4. Pour the batter into an ungreased tube pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes until it springs back lightly and a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Once baked, invert the cake onto a cooling rack and cool completely upside down.
  6. Run a knife around the edges to release the cake from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream.
